Washington Commanders trading for Indianapolis Colts QB Carson Wentz, sources say

[Auggie]

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts are trading quarterback Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders for a package of draft picks, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Colts will receive the Commanders' third-round picks in 2022 and 2023, sources told Schefter. The 2023 third-rounder can become a second-round selection if Wentz plays 70% of Washington's snaps. The teams also swapped second-round picks in 2022, with the Colts moving up from No. 47 overall to No. 42.

Sources told Schefter that Washington will pay the full $28 million due to Wentz for the 2022 season, which includes a $5 million roster bonus coming next week.

The trade comes one week after Commanders general manager Martin Mayhew said the team had "canvassed the league effectively" to find a quarterback. Washington has started 32 quarterbacks since it last won the Super Bowl following the 1991 season, including eight in the past three years.

1. Enjoy him

Yet another team where everyone else will be blamed when Wentz has a bad game. It's the O-line. It's the D. It's the other team. It's the coaches. It's the guy selling hot dogs.
